Price tags have not beenvampered with—the reductions are genuine and very much worth your while. AKING friends for the future and cleaning out all present stock in order to start with everything fresh in the new location are the sole objects of this sale. We're with Uncle John Burroughs, the famous naturalist and essayist, in one thing, anyway. Invited to help celebrate a centenary of Browning, Uncie John replies that he's too busy, doesn’t see anything much worth while in Browning, and ts willing that the celebrants get what good they can out of “struggling with him.” There may be use for Browning, just os there may be use for the Yermiform appendix, the comb on a hen's head, or the tail of a cat, but the “struggle” to get al and apply It, as Uncle Jobn intimates, isn't worth while. There are too many good things within easy reach to Warrant a battle with Browning's syntax and literary noise, save by those who have little else to do. | BY THE WAY, SWAT THAT FLY RIGHT NOW! LEASE remember that the entire stock must go before we move. Clothing, Hats, Underwear, Shirts, Neckwear, a Hosiery, etc., etc., have all been reduced and there are many ; half price specials among them. Sammer Weight Suits Half Price As an indication of the money-saving possibilities this sale a holds for you, we call your attention to 150 Suits of Summer 4 Weight, in the popular greys, browns and novelty mixtures, now offered at HALF PRICE.
